Learning To See - How People Become Experts with Kyle Griffin

first of all Kyle welcome back to,english Cove,I know you and I did a podcast episode,for the agile Talks podcast going back,maybe a month and a half ago or so a,couple months and we were talking about,your multifaceted approach to reaching,true business agility which you call,diamond agile which we had a really good,response and really interesting stuff,that we covered and during that,conversation we got into another topic,which you coined learning to see and we,discussed at that point coming back on,the show and elaborating on that a bit,so that's why we're here very,interesting stuff I you know the,official title of this webinar is,learning to see how people become,experts and I think there's a lot of,that in there and you have basically a,different view and a very interesting I,think very progressive view and approach,to this so let's go ahead and talk about,that so Paola you've got the floor,thanks for joining thanks Chris,I always feel a little bit surprised by,how nice your introductions are for me,so I've been I've been doing education,more or less monthly since I don't know,91 and then I've been in the schools,doing education being educated since,well very long time ago,so um education for me has been an awful,lot of my career if you look at what,I've done across the years I I say,things like I have well more than 25,000,hours in teaching if you just,actual time spent either in front of,classrooms or tutoring people one-on-one,I've taught I like to say I've taught,almost everything if there is a topic,that goes on in a school or near a,school or then I've probably been,involved with teaching it whether that,be springboard diving or soccer coaching,whether that be elementary school,education teaching mathematics whether,that be working in a Montessori context,whether that be,I have homeschooled three or four other,people's kids plus my five I have taught,software for a great deal of time I've,taught business English I've taught,English in different countries I've,taught what I do for a living is I help,people learn to do things better and,having done that and recently as you,know my focus has been on teaching,people to do agility better but still an,awful lot of what I do is helping people,to become better and so I spent years,trying to figure out what kinds of,things matter in education and I've got,my line and my really fast version and,I'm gonna focus on part of this but I,want to do my first version first when,you look at education it comes down to,really three things I've been saying,something slightly different for the,last five years ten years but I want to,change my words a friend of mine nudged,me,to change my words five years ago but I,didn't really figure out what he meant,and so I think I've got a better line,now 90% of education 90% of learning is,intent where is the attention of the,student when they are learning are they,paying attention to trying to get better,are they paying attention to trying to,improve are they paying attention to,their needs if they're paying attention,to their new eating they are not getting,better they are not learning anything,really simply intent is most of learning,whether or not you have a class whether,or not you have materials whether or not,you have a teacher the core question in,learning is who wants to learn what and,the people who want to learn they learn,and the people who don't want to learn,they don't and the people who don't care,they also don't and so question one in,learning which I'm not trying to talk,about today is what is your motivation,I used to say these days I talk more,about intent because my word intent when,I use it I mean what is your intent in,the moment not hey I want to learn,algebra so I'm gonna take an algebra,class and then during the algebra class,I'm gonna think about lunch no what's,your intent while you're doing the,learning okay so I'm gonna push intent,off to the side we'll come back to in a,minute but my first line is if you don't,have intent you don't have learning,right really 90% of the issue is where,is your attention once you've cleared,intent out of the way and you've got,somebody who's really actually trying to,become better then you get to the second,part of learning the second part of,learning is what are you doing how are,you acting what actions are you taking,and I want to I want to go beyond that I,wasn't saying that is carefully learning,is mostly practice and I'll push more on,practice in a minute but most of,learning is how are you doing the work,when I want to learn to be a,mathematician I want to do what college,mathematicians call warm-ups and I want,to do calculus how do you do calculus,how do you get competent at calculus you,do thousands of problems there's nobody,anywhere who's any good at calculus who,hasn't done thousands of calculus,problems,similarly calculus is a building skill,if you don't have algebra skills then,you can't do it and so you have to have,done your thousands or tens of thousand
